William Allen White reports gossip that indicates President Francis owns certain stock and is interested in “other money making schemes about the Fair,” most likely referring to the 1904 World’s Fair. White does not have proof of these stories, and although he heard this gossip from reliable people, he emphasizes that he cannot believe the stories are true.
